Others - Dryad Quest RPG: A Tale of Lust and Glory [v0.18.0] [Nekon]

A recommendation from me. This game and its story are great.

Having played the game when only the "initiation" -- their name for the tutorial portion of the game -- was available, I am pleasantly surprised with the way the game has come along.
For the most part, the game has added a lot of features which aim to increase immersion and add visual context to scenes which before were only text and could be challenging to visualize for less imaginative people.

The good stuff about the game:
- The art is great and does a great job at assisting the written story
- The writing of the story is fantastic
- Character cast is diverse and can be good or less good depending on your choices
- Choices matter? There are hints of choices being impactful but so far the story isn't that advanced to really get a good impression of how much impact it'll carry in the story's progression and expansion.

The Bad:
- This is not finished. Obviously this makes for some frustrations but development, bug testing and surveying player preferences and interactions with the game is a long and arduous process. Give the guy some time, to go from thought to playable demo takes a lot of time and effort.
- Slight annoyances with the inconsistent UI from the last update. But that's mainly because a big update to the map system was done and the game's core visuals are still being tested.
- Updates are slow to come out... But that's not necessarily bad as the quality of the updates on this game have been better than most games I try here on F95.

Overall: 7/10 in it's current state of development.
10/10 idea, 9/10 execution, 10/10 tutorial + first mission & 2/10 for completion, there's more great stuff in that developer's mind but it takes time to write, draw and program for the game.
Will update as game updates roll out.

A very promising new text-based RPG, this game is another example of very wisely combining gameplay and sexual themes. You might argue that they've set themselves up for doing a whole bunch of work, with the number of paths and outcomes they want to enable, but just the fact that the sexual choices inform your combat- and level-up choices is cause for recognition.

Give it a shot, but remember that the game is still quite unfinished.

Perhaps the most high quality, rich experience you'll get for this type of game (text-based)... or at least it started out as text-based in the earlier versions. With each new update the author has been polishing it up with comic-style illustrations.

If you've a thing for hypersexualized worlds with a lot of excessive focus on cum + some nice internal view stuff to go with it, get this game, you'll love it.

Version: 0.30 Pub
The Good
Combat
Most of the fights you face multiple enemies at ones, they have different traits like dogs fight in pack, bats have bloodlust, you have to prioritize which to take down first.

UI
The clickable map, color change after entering a room, [Emptied] after clearing a container.
Paragraph by paragraph text works well with better pacing control than compared to some other text RPG's wall of text.

Art
Excellect art for a text RPG plus a dress up system.

World building/Immersion
When you explore a ruin, all the statues, paintings, ceiling arts and quest items all maintains a theme.
Dryad's non usage of tools reflexes well on swords, maces, etc are now junk. The amount of junk in rooms also gives me fallout vibes.

Story/writing
No wall of text infodump just enough background for the story to work.
Really like it doesn't shy away from more gruesome depictions.
Dilemma is well built up and believable. But I am not sure if my choices have lasting impact/come back to haunt/help me.
Cleverly blended puzzle into writing, so play has to actually read instead of thinking player character read/know it and it will work.

The Middleground
Unlike some other text RPG being open world, DQ RPG is, so far, linear, more like a dungeon crawler, but it does have a "adventure" tag so it didnt lie. This on one hand limits player freedom but on the other give dev more control on pacing and craft an experience.
The contrasts bewteen the first few black and white artwork and the excellent character art later really caught me off guard, granted they were depicting night time or they were placeholders.


The To be Desired
There are so far two main chapters so it can be finished in a few hours if you read fast but I would advise against it.

I found it very hot, I was shocked.
Nothing shocks me usually but I was playing it found whoa shocking to play it.
You can create your character and choice is generally up to you, developer put zork-like rpg in this game is pretty interesting.
Along with sex to use sperm as fuel for dryad.
It was good for mechanics for game but overall I believe this wow and amazing so it got 5 star rating.
Keep improving on it I want to see more.

Now imagine if this would have animations. Or at least art for each scene. Fucking exellent, mate. I'm not into piss like at all, but Satyr one was so damn hot. Try to make more arts, dude, oral with a Deer-girl was just something. Without a damage to amount of content over all, this will elevate this game twice.

Dryad Quest RPG Review, v 0.3.0

Potentially one of the best html games I have played/seen. I say potentially, as of the time of writing there isn't a great deal of content, but the content that is there is extremely well polished. The art is outstanding for an html game, the mechanics are great, mixing the classic rpg combat and levelling system with a level of problem solving needed.

Fetishes catered for atm are: Futa, F/F, impregnation, low beast (monsters and half human/beast), inflation, combat sex, internal view.

If the above sounds like its in your hit box, then definitely give this one a go.

Rated 5 stars so far, based on what's currently available

An excellent turn-based rpg game with sexual elements.
The story is intriguing and captivating enough to make you want to read and not just skim it for the saucy parts. On top of that, it caters to a lot of fetishes, most of them optional, so kudos for that as well.
The art is extremely well done and it enhances the imagination usually required for text-based games.
Cannot wait to see how it will evolve in the future.

Version: v0.2.5

Well as of the current version of the game there isnt too much content currently, but the game is being constantly updated with a good amount of stuff so i expect this to not apply later into the future. First thing that pops out for me is the art, its gorgeous and the artist has some good tastes im not going to lie. The gameplay is also quite good, i can tell its going to have a good variety of playstyles later into the future. The sex scenes are text based with the pictures of most sex participants on the side, but i can already tell the developer is dabbling into more complex sex scenes with far more art.

Has amazing amount of potential, all two (dev, artist) look like they know what they are doing. I look forward to the completion of this game.

Very short on content right now, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't one of the most promising games I've seen. The art looks fantastic, the concept is surprisingly engaging, the way text is split into paragraphs makes it easy to follow without overload, and more. I'm really excited to see what will come in the future!

this game has great potential and adds a good amount of content with every new version
short so far, but there is a lot of content with what is given, like how there are variations with every scene depending on what orifice you choose to use
i especially love how the lewd content and gameplay are so well integrated into one another, its rare to find a game that manages to do this

It's too early to say right now (v0.2.2), but this game has a chance to be one of the best in its niche. If you like text-based RPGs, you'll probably love this one.

The writing is good, but the best thing about it is that the game doesn't throw walls of text at you, instead showing only a short paragraph or two at the time. That is a huge improvement compared to other text-based games.
Otherwise, it's a typical light, silly fantasy story with porn logic here and there, but it's still an interesting somewhat original setting.

Gameplay-wise, this is just fun to play, even without the NSFW content.
The dungeons are well designed, and aren't built on a grid map, which removes the unnecessary movement from tile to tile, and leaves only interesting rooms for you to explore. There aren't many rooms that have only lore/fluff meaning behind them, and even those reward you for exploration by giving you items.
The combat is actually fun and rarely dissolves into "spam one attack until the enemy dies". Some enemies can easily steamroll you, but it's not an unfair challenge, as you have a lot of control during combat.
I also like that you can choose whether to seduce enemy or just beat them up. I'm pretty sure that seduction is roll based, but I somehow haven't failed a single roll.

I guess the only two "problems" I have with this game are it's extreme linearity and, therefore, how slowly it's going to be developed.
So far, Dryad Quest doesn't have random encounters, so, whatever enemy you'll encounter, you'll have to choose between reading their sex scene or fighting them. Again, combat is fun, so it's a win-win situation, but you're still missing out on the scene without an opportunity to read it some time later.
And since it is this much of a linear game and it can't just throw same enemies at you as you move through the area, I assume that the dev will take more time to make every room, encounter or area more interesting.

Okay so far so good! It's plainly text but the writing skill is engaging.

Easy to read an follow, when your in you cannot get out before finishing the prologue, i didn't see the time passing.

Is not an easy game, you have to understand your skill before engaging an enemy and don't fear to run! You can do a lot of thing and the "magic system" is pretty well build and keep a lot of potential!

The gameplay is, for me, enthralling.
The writing is pretty good, maybe a little too "long" or condensed, but that not difficult ot paliate it!
Doesn't have art and doesn't need it, if it's mean destroying th game by not doing thing fully...

I'm Watching!

I loved this game. The text was excellent, especially the level up notes A lot of thought was put into the character progression in an RPG sense, which I really like, and I see a huge amount of potential for expansion of the shopping with more levels. Some constructive feedback is that I wished there was a little more sexual content in the combat text, and I found navigating the map one-handed to be tricky Overall great game, happy to give it 5 stars.

Not really much to this game at the moment. You have around 3 gangbang scenes (the games weakest aspect, as you have no control over them, when choosing which hole collects semen is an actual mechanic in this) and a few 1 v 1's. By beating enemies you get a resource you can spend to fuck them, and by fucking them you get a resource you spend to beat them (magic costs semen, and scales with how much you have in a given hole; hence why gangbangs are pretty counter to this system; if you have 60 in your stomach, but the gangbangers only use your ass, you still have 60 in stomach despite spending the 'fuck me' resource). Its in interesting loop you just don't get to use much because there simply isn't much game to play with.

Right now you have a very short dungeon, consisting of the aforemention fights, a ton of healing items and 2 NPC's, both of which are assholes. I think the game would make a better first impression if it had at least one impressionable NPC, but for the duration of your dungeon delving, its just them.
The fights are pretty easy once you realize items are under 'martial' rather than 'items' like you'd logicially expect.

There are other mechanics like 'orgasm points' I couldn't figure out the actual point of. You can spend your level up points making your various holes more able to store cum, sensitive or some other thing, but in the current game none of this seems to really matter.

As is this makes a very good first impression. Clean UI. Simple battle system. Good mixing of the lewd and actual fights via casting from semen and 'allure' being a resource you get via winning fights. Well written, even if I don't care for how much of an asshole everyone is.
It just needs more... everything.

Also it lets you suck all the dicks, which is always a plus in my book

My first text game!
- Great writing, interesting story, hot sex scene
- no bugs, played it on Firefox
- special easy mod mod to "skip" the fights
- no grind
- nice UI

HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT is an awesome stack. I wish more lewd games were made on that stack, especially text based games and visual novels.

It's a text game. It's a good one.

This game has focused on a high standard of user experience: The animated interface is responsive and clear, the writing is properly edited, combat is challenging and interesting. Games in early development are often full of holes, but this keeps it short but highly polished.

This means that it is worth your time, since it doesn't waste it.

As for the writing, the porn is good, the world is delivered with integrity, and it's got strong characterization. It respects the importance of brevity in text games.

I'm looking forward to more updates, and can't wait to explore more of this setting.

[Rev @ v0.1.2]

Very nice start.

Not much in the way of art, but what's there is nice if non-pornographic. UI is nice and a welcome break from some of the uglier twine/javascript text porn games.

Plot is novel enough and writing is high quality. Dialog isn't even bad either which I appreciate. Demo is cut of at a sensible point and left me wishing there was more game so I could continue, which is always a good sign.

Nothing in the porn squicked me. As an impregnation/preggo fetishist I'm not squeeing in delight over the semen-as-mana thing because there're "better" things to be doing with it, but that's entirely subjective and also not a dealbreaker in this case. Everything else makes up for it.

TLDR: Keep up the great work, ~watched.

Dryad Quest

Wowie zowie kapowie! I love this game. It sucks that it's in Alpha (v0.1.0), because I just want more!

Pros:
+ Great 'semen collection' gameplay. Fucking creatures gets you semen, which is how you replenish your 'mana.' This genius idea has the potential to outshine even the likes of CoC.
+ The writing is very smooth and sexy. Very arousing and had me playing with one hand the whole time.
+ The Role aspect in RPG is very well realized. Become a horny Nymph/Dryad thing and suck people and creatures dry to become stronger. Defeating enemies gives a scene where you dom them for semen, and losing also gives a fun and hot non-con game-over scene. Most encounters can be won by fucking, fighting, or questing.

Meh:
:/ UI needs to be tightened up. The 'Wall of text' storytelling needs to be broken up more evenly.

Bad:
- No Sounds. No moaning. No slapping, smacking, or clapping.
- No Images
- Only about 1-2 hours of content atm

Summary: I Can't wait for more!

Score: 7.0 / 10
Ver: 0.1.0
Date: 3.28.20
